The scientific name for sesame seeds. These seeds may be tiny, but they are worth their weight in nutrient-rich gold! Historically, the seeds were one of the first oil producing crops, valued for their high resistance to rancidity.
Sesame seeds have the highest percentage of phytosterols compared to other nuts and seeds. Phytosterols are plant compounds known to help reduce cholesterol.
Sesame seeds are rich in copper, which is a trace mineral known to be important in a number of anti- inflammatory and antioxidant enzyme systems. For example, it has been effective in helping reduce some of the pain and swelling of rheumatoid arthritis.
The high zinc and copper content in sesame seeds helps to produce collagen, giving your skin more elasticity and helping to repair damaged body tissue.

Sesame seeds are packed with protein, making up 20% of the seed (or 4.7 grams of protein per ounce). Did you know that the protein in a cup of sesame seeds is three times what you will find in a cup of tofu?
